Because many computers around the world are vulnerable because people don't update windows.

Because they want your games to lag for the next 12 hours while you try to work out why your games are lagging so much. Most probably because tech companies are absolute control freaks nowadays.

God, that pisses me off. I don't want to choose between restart and update or switch off and update. I want to SWITCH OFF. I will figure out the update when I have actual time to wait 3 hours while you "configure update" you fucking piece of shit OS.

I bet my friend I could beat him in a tug of war where we both have the rope tied around our dicks. How do I train for this and gain an advantage during?

Are you allowed to pull the rope with your hands (on top of the rope being tied around your dick), or are you only allowed to pull with your penis and nothing else? Either way I'd suggest walking around with weights tied to your penis to improve its durability. If anyone asks about the suspicious bulge in your pants just tell them that it's your massive balls.

So, we know that salt raises the boiling point of water, ergo when boiling water for cooking pasta it's better to salt once the water has started to boil.

Or?

What is it that actually cooks the pasta? Is it the temperature + contact with water alone, i.e. what matters isn't if the water is actually boiling but the temperature? In which case it wouldn't matter whether I salt before or after it begins to boil.

Or does the process of boiling in itself contribute to the cooking of the pasta?

100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and 10km running every single day. It goes without saying that you have to eat three meals a day. But in the morning, a banana should be enough.

After, i don't know why but a (professionally trained) cook told me. Doesn't matter for the taste but you waste less energy or something like that.

A quick Google search tells me it takes 58 grams (about 10 teaspoons) of salt to raise the boiling point of a liter of water a half a degree Celsius.

I don't think it would have a noticable effect on cooking times. I've always just added it for flavoring the noodles.

Also, raising the cooking temperature is actually good (If you want to boil stuff quickly). That is the whole idea of a pressure cooker. It allows you to cook stuff like beans or lentils way quicker, because of instead of boiling them at 100°C, with a pressure cooker you can boil them at 120°C due to the higher pressure in there raising the boiling point.

Of course, it probably destroys some tasty things or others, but for some meals it is fine to do it this way.

Putting salt in pasta water for the taste is one of the weirdest legends I've heard, along with putting (olive) oil in the water so the pasta don't stick.
If you actually taste a difference, you must have tasteless pastas and sauce, or use a full bowl of salt.

I taste the difference and well-salted pasta water helps the pasta not stick.

Why is Eric Clapton's song Cocaine so slow? You would think it would be played super fast.

He should have named it Pot.

erm you can definitely taste whether the pasta has boiled in salted water or not. There's no question about it. That said, the 'rule' is basically 10 grams of salt per 100 grams of pasta (which boils in 1 liter of water), so yes, quite a lot of salt. My impression is also that the 'proper italian' way of eating pasta doesn't quite drench it in sauce, so you can actually taste some of the pasta on its own.
